    Great bar! The live music is always great. Awesome outdoor area to enjoy the outside while still listening to music. Love this place. Bartenders here are always really nice and attentive. Just a great West Chester joint Miss the old sign outside. Bring back the sign!! The food is really good. Try their BBQ. My favorite is the bullseye sausage wrapped in bacon and their smoked wings. Last time the brisket was overly fatty and gristly but everything else was great. I also don't like their mac and cheese. It tastes like Stouffers. Everything else is worth a try.

    The whole shebang! All made from scratch

    If you're in or around West Chester, you HAVE to check out the Brickette! There really is nothing else like it. Pool tables, pinball, longboard, a stage with live music, and then there's the outdoor area! Fire pit! Cornhole! It's a very easy atmosphere. Bottled beers are the #1 choice. I had the Lone Star lager yesterday, it was tasty and ice cold. Oh, one more thing. They have a BANGIN BBQ pit that serves up da BEST brisket, pulled pork, and chicken.

    Great vibe! Beers were cheap. The band was great! Feels like a Texas Honky Tonk! The history and decor is authentic and charming.

    Brickette Lounge Honky Tonk & BBQ, Exton, PA: A Roadhouse BBQ Experience Worth the Stop! If you find yourself at Brickette Lounge Honky Tonk & BBQ in Exton, PA, on a beautiful day, make sure to dine in their outdoor courtyard. The picturesque setting significantly enhances the overall dining experience. Should the weather turn chilly, the indoor area truly embodies a lounge and honky tonk atmosphere, complete with a pool table, a large bar, and a dance floor. It's essentially a Texas roadhouse transported to Eastern PA. You choose your drink at the bar separately from the walk-up BBQ counter. The good news is they didn't just bring the roadhouse vibe--they also brought a couple of 1000-gallon Texas-style smokers and authentic Texas BBQ to Southeastern PA. It's one of the best representations of Texas-style BBQ I've seen in the state. Parking is convenient, with ample spaces available in front of the building. The service at Brickette BBQ is exceptional--attentive, friendly, and efficient. The portion sizes and value are excellent. I tried the "Small Sampler Platter" (on two trips), which includes ribs, brisket, Cajun and Jalapeño Cheddar sausages, chicken, three sides, two cornbread, onions, and pickles. It's a hearty meal that can easily satisfy two hungry men. Now, onto the important part--the BBQ: * Ribs: Large spareribs passed the bite mark test. Personally, I would have preferred a heavier bark or glaze, but the flavor was excellent--juicy and tender. Most diners will love them! 8/10 * Chicken: Perfectly cooked with a light glaze of flavorful black pepper BBQ sauce. Moist and great taste. 8/10 * Pulled Pork: Perfectly cooked, moist, juicy, and flavorful with a good amount of bark mixed throughout. It would make a perfect pulled pork sandwich with the slaw and black pepper BBQ sauce. 8/10 * Brisket: As a seasoned brisket enthusiast who has sampled brisket at approximately 400 different BBQ restaurants, I found it better than most commercial spots. It passed the KCBS judging pull test and was a standout offering with just the right bark and fat cap. 8/10 * Plain Sausage: This was a pleasant surprise. It had a nice snap and excellent flavor, surpassing my usual expectations for sausage. While the Jalapeño Cheddar was good, I preferred the plain, though both were excellent products. 8/10 * Collard Greens: Very flavorful and well-prepared with bits of smoked meat throughout for seasoning. Paired perfectly with the cornbread. 8/10 * Potato Salad: Normally my favorite side dish, it looks to be homemade in-house with a mustard-based dressing. It did not disappoint. 8/10 * Slaw: Perhaps due to the heat of the day, this was my favorite side. Light, crispy, and not overdressed, it had the perfect crunchy coolness to cleanse the palate between bites of the smoky BBQ. 8/10 * Cornbread: A large, moist, crumbly portion with a hint of sweet undertones. As a Southern gentleman, I prefer cornbread without sugar, and the light sweet undertones definitely did not offend my palate. Considering the portion size and moisture, it is a very good product. 8/10 * Sauces: The tomato-based black pepper sauce (8/10) wasn't particularly hot but had a slight kick. I would buy it by the bottle if available! The Carolina mustard-style sauce (6/10) was good but not remarkable. 7/10 I wish Yelp allowed half-star ratings because Brickette BBQ is better than a 4-star but not quite a perfect five-star establishment. Sit out back at the picnic tables, play some cornhole, and have a cold one--you won't be disappointed. While they are not rated the best BBQ in PA by Yelp, they have a claim to be mentioned as a contender. I would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. Even if the food weren't great Texas-style BBQ, the service and outdoor area would make up for it. PS: they threw in a hot, out of the oven, homemade, Smores cookie ... one word "DIVINE." Tell them Big E BBQ sent you. Back on the road again, looking to visit 500 BBQ shacks around the world!

    Great bar for live music and a lively crowd. We did not eat, just had drinks. Fun time. Great music.

    I met a friend here for happy hour. It was my first time. I had been to the previous establishment,…read morethe Ship Inn, several times. When I first drove up, I didn't not immediately recognize it as the former Ship Inn because the traffic pattern at the intersection was different and the building looked more updated. The interior was spacious. My friend was at the bar where we sat the entire time. Since my friend was a regular, he knew the bar tender, Morgan. He vouched for her Old Fashioned which just happened to be what I had planned to order. The Old Fashioned was good. She made it with Evan Williams Bourbon. It had a good blend so that it was not too sweet, too bitter or overpowered by the bourbon. My friend ordered Garlic Parmesan wings which he seemed to enjoy. We sat talking for a couple of hours and never felt rushed. The vibe at the bar was friendly as folks came in and out for drinks. I will go back and check out the restaurant next time.

    Went on a Saturday night and honestly had a great time. Calamari appetizer was super lightly…read morebreaded and crispy, and the green sauce (herby/creamy) was awesome! I had a pizza, which was thin-crust, had flavorful sauce, and a solid cheese-sauce ratio. I would've finished the whole thing if it wasn't for the beer flights! I had two flights and each of the beers I tried I would order again. They're named nautically which made ordering them honestly fun. Wait staff was friendly and timely, so much so that I'm already planning a return! I will say that many tables were empty so it was a bit easier to serve us, but I hope in the future VK gets more business. Good people, good food, great beer.
